Need To Restore User Fonts After OS Rebuild

I need to rebuild my iMac with a clean install. I'm currently using Monterey but I will rebuild with Ventura. After I rebuild, I need to restore Font Book with the 800 typefaces I imported. I read another post that explained where to find the User fonts using Time Machine.

I'm wondering how would I restore the Collections I currently have after the rebuild.

Is there a way to do this?

Maybe there's a file in the Package Contents?

If there is a file, would it be compatible with Ventura?

iMac 27″, macOS 12.6

I was able to restore both the font collections and the user fonts using Time Machine. Both folders are in the Library folder. Thanks for your suggestion!

Hi Dechris_mode,

When you restore from a Time Machine backup, this should include your fonts as well. If needed, these resources have information on how to create and restore from a Time Machine backup:
